I'm sending all of this information to you in the hope that it might be helpful in the fight against pesticides elsewhere in the protection of people, pets, wildlife, and the environment, as well as here in New York City. Yesterday, I walked-in the following 2 letters to US District Court Judge George Daniels in New York City, who presided over the No Spray Coalition's lawsuit against NYC's spraying of toxic pesticides filed in 2000. One is a 1-page cover letter, and the other is 27 pages. The Judge is in charge of making sure that the stipulations in the agreement are not violated. I show in the letter how the City is violating the agreement, along with Local Law 37, which was passed unanimously by the City Council in 2005. I presented some of the scientific research against pesticides, and I asked him to stop the City from spraying pesticides, arguing that the spraying is a violation of the Settlement Agreement and the law. (The attempt here is to find a legal mechanism so that the judge could immediately act under the existing settlement (not that I expect him to), without the need for the expense of filing a new court case and motions.) I also emailed a copy to the Department of Health, and walked-in a copy to Brooklyn City Council member Letitia James, with a separate cover letter. In addition to my long letter to the Judge outlining the issues, I included many "exhibits" that I won't burden you with here, unless you want them, except for "Exhibit H" -- an excellent letter from NY State Assemblyman William Colton (47th A.D.) questioning the NYC Department of Health about the spraying. Mr. Colton faxed the letter 3 weeks ago to the NYC DOH requesting an immediate response. They haven't gotten back to him -- and "Exhibit I" -- a detailed review by Dr. Robert Simon on Pyrethroid pesticides. The full list of Exhibits are: Exhibit A: 2007 Settlement Agreement Exhibit B: Plaintiffs' 2006 Letter to NYC proposing alternatives to spraying and procedures Exhibit C: Health Department summary of Local Law 37 (against pesticides) Exhibit D: Local Law 37 text Exhibit E: DOH's waiver to allow spraying pesticides in Queens for nuisance mosquitoes, May 18, 2011 Exhibit F: DOH's waiver to allow spraying pesticides in Brooklyn for West Nile mosquitoes, May 18, 2011 Exhibit G: History of DOH's pro forma waivers, 2006-2010. Exhibit H: NY Assemblyman Bill Colton's letter of inquiry to DOH Exhibit I: Dr. Robert Simon's Review of Pyrethroids Exhibit J: NYC's 2010 Comprehensive Mosquito Plan Exhibit K: DOH's "Health Advisory" Aug. 19, 2011, with lots of assertions and no substatiations or proofs Exhibit L: DOH press release mentioning NYC's first human WNV case, Aug. 19, 2011 - Mitchel Cohen No Spray Coalition
